• Satellite A300-17N where is the reset button

  Hello

  I have laptop toshiba A300 17N but, I can't find the reset button on it? :) if anyone knows... Please help me...:)

  Thank you..

  Afraid to tell you, but you will not find any reset button, because there is only a power button. You will need to restart your laptop by using the windows or hold down the power button to turn it off completely and start it again.

  Maybe you could try the old combination of CTRL + ALT + DELETE to restart your system.

  Hello

  I tried updating the bios with the winflash utility of toshiba-site official. He created a backup file and pasted into the half of the process. Then when I tried to restart the screen was white (without food). I hear the cpu works, the fans, the lights on the keyboard and hard drive.

• Satellite A300-17N - the CPU multiplier does not change under load

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300-17N. Yesterday, I noticed that my CPU does not change its multiplier under load.
  I have used programs like premium 95 and Orthos CPU load and programs such as CPU - Z and Everest.

  The multiplier blocked on 6 and do not change its value.
  Under load the multiplier should change its value to 13, but it didn't happen.

  In this case my CPU works on 798 MHz (133 x 6) 1732 MHz (13 x 133) instead.
  I will be grateful for any advice.

  Hey Buddy

  I put t know what you are talking about, and I don t know if you're up-to-date on CPU technology but the laptop was equipped with the Intel Pentium Dual - Core T2370 processor.
  I recommend the Intel page on Intel Dual-Core T2370 properties.

  This processor supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology.
  Do you know what it is?

  Here is a short info from the Intel page:

  + Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows the system to dynamically adjust the frequency of voltage and core processor, which can translate into a reduction in average energy and decreases heat production average. +

  I think it should be clear now.

• Satellite A300-17N - t - it have port series and how to get there?

  Hello

  To help my studies in microcontrollers, I need serial port, but I did not on the Panel of my laptop. I know that some laptop models have one on their motherboards, but is not on the Panel. If satellite A300-17N is one of them I enjoy any help and instructions how to get manually.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Satellite A300-17N doesn t have serial port and AFAIK no Satellite A300 was equipped with this port.

  But I saw a few online shops, they listed an Express card that offers the serial port (RS232). I found one on Amazon:
  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/STARTech-com-16C950-ExpressCard-serial-adapter/DP/B000PE6G04/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&QID=1300736594&SR=8-8

  I think it would be easier and less expensive way for serial port. :)

• Satellite A300 starts spinning on the cover

  Hi all

  This is my first post here.

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 and lights up whenever I close the lid/screen of the laptop it self.
  After having reduced the media bar above the keyboard, I found that if I turn the laptop and then press on the media bar, that he turns on the laptop.

  I unplugged the cable and I can close the lid and everything is OK, as I thought it was the switch first.

  any ideas?

  Concerning

  Hello

  The control panel of the system above the keyboard contain different buttons.
  The button Mute, Media Play/Pause button etc. are available on some models and the appearance may vary.

  But as far as I know even if the laptop is powered, press the media button would be powering the laptop and start the program which allows to play CDs or DVDs: for example windows media player. This setting is configured as a default setting.

  As far as I know, you should be able to change that using the tool of Support of Toshiba Button. This utility controls the operation of the key on the computer.

  I tried to reinstall and I tried everything. It does not work.

  I Mat * a UJ - 850 s drive in Toshiba Satellite A300-17N on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

  Thanks for the help!

  Check if the firmware update is available to take you on the European driver Toshiba page.
  If there is no update the problem might be related to the WEIRD failure.

  Try to also remove the filters above and below the Windows registry:

  Test media (CD & DVD) from different manufacturers.
  If this will not help, the replacement drive is necessary.

• Satellite A300-1MH - cannot start the eSATA external HARD disk drive

  Reloading utility chipset change anything.

  PS. on another computer same portable HARD drive works fine in both previous cases
  Thanks for the attention
  Fabio

  AFAIK, the chipset drivers are responsible for the usb, esata functions but you already reinstalled it. Have you tried to remove the chipset drivers in Device Manager and reinstall again? If still does not solve your problem, it may be the operating system itself. Using the preinstalled operating system or Windows disk?

  Dear members...

  Good day...

  I have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A300-243, I installed the Bios after you download from Toshiba Web site, and when it's over, he restarted the machine and did not work, just turned on.

  So if any body can help me to solve this problem, I'm happy.

  It looks like that the BIOS update has no...

  What can you do now?
  Yourself you can do nothing. The only change is the authorized service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module

  Sorry mate, but in this case you need professional help.

• Satellite A300 - grayish colors on the screen

  Where to play games on my Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-02W010) and looking at photos of all colors seem a bit dull and grayish. When I called they said them it could be "limits the display" and I could have looked but I would be charged $120 if it was because of the limitations, I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems with screens.

  It looks like my companion of hewlett packard LCD display which is very old.

  Any advice would be helpful!

  I have Satellite A300 and colors on the display are clear and bright.
  What games do you play? Something in the dark?
  Have you noticed the same thing if you use Vista OS for the daily work as Web-based applications or in the office?

• Re: satellite A300 screen turns off after the toshiba logo, will not boot from the CD/DVD

  Hello, I have this problem with Toshiba satellite A300.

  I deleted several files and folders of my drives C and E. To restart the computer, it only shows the Toshiba logo then a slightly gray white screen on a thorough inspection. Whenever I press CRL + ALT + DELETE, the computer restarts and behaves in the same way.

  I tried to use an external monitor, but there is no difference. The tent to start using a CD/DVD, same behaviour occurs, it does not start and screen remains blank after the Toshiba logo, I tried even to change g the order of boot, but in vain.

  What could happen?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It seems that you deleted system files and Windows no longer starts. Have you tried to restore the disk image factory settings or hard drive recovery? Or do copy the Windows installation... It is easier to reinstall rather fix the problem.

• Satellite A300 - fan turns on every 2 min 30 seconds

  Hello

  I wanted to know if its normal that the fan starts running on my Satellite A300-1hv every 2 min 30 seconds?
  What is happening continuously. I'm on the maximum power of vista.

  Help will be really appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Yes, it's nothing unusual, because the fan starts to turn a certain temperature level is reached.
  There is a temperature sensor, and if the temperature drops to a higher level modules cooling starts to cool internal as CPU, GPU devices.
  If the temperature drops then the fan slows down.
  It seems that there is nothing wrong and you should t be worried

• Satellite A300-1tim: - issue of the multimedia keys

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-1tim: PSAGCE-08X00GPL.
  After reinstalling Windows (Vista 32 bit), everything was fine until the moment when I wanted to turn off the backlight touch multimedia keys, those just above the keyboard (above the F1 to F12 keys).

  Mute, play/pause, stop and change of tracks in Windows Media Player buttons worked very well, except the second button - turning on WMP (but it was flashing after pressing).

  Some time ago, I had these configured buttons in a way the first person (currently silent) turned to the large backlit, second one - a shot on Winamp.

  I installed the package of added value and Toshiba Assist. Now, in Toshiba Assist, after choosing "Toshiba buttons" I only empty fields.
  When I chose to browse and dir: TBS try to choose any function (e.g. drive - disable backlit) it appears in the path and Description sections, I can type something in Option, but nothing appears in the section last but the most important: button name, has nothing to choose, blind fields on the list.

  Of course after you press the register there is no response when I press any button.
  Maybe someone has seen something like that?

  HWSetup I can turn back-lit, but this is not the point, I would do it with a single button as before.
  Value added package 1.1.19 installed with FeatureSelect.ini 1.1.14 (common failure of Toshiba) also chcked v. 1.1.14 (two versions available)
  BIOS 2.20
  Toshiba Assist 2.01.04

  Checked the registry and saw that I have all the keys in the registry:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Toshiba\TBS\DefaultSet ting\
  I don't want to dirty it so I did not change anything

  BTW, sory for my English: bravohelen:
